Let me put it this way: No one has ever gotten over by losing to someone who cheats without ever overcoming those odds to win. NO ONE. Cheating or no, a loss is a loss is a loss. Piper cheated constantly, but he never did screw Hogan out of the title did he? Of course not, BECAUSE THAT WOULD HAVE KILLED HOGAN'S HEAT.
The time tested angle is as follows: Heel is champ. Heel cheats face to win over and over again. Face wins title at big money event. Face is over and draws money with another heel or continues feud. Booker should have gone over, there is no reason on God's green earth why he shouldn't have, besides backstage politics and ego. NONE.
Here's how it works with HHH: Heel is champ. Heel cheats to win over and over and then. Heel buries poo slob who he was working with at a big money event. Heel faces next chump stupid enough to get buried by him thinking they'll be elevated.
The fact is HHH has gotten over by taking, and has given little to nothing back. He has gotten over by being booked as a legitimate champ and by going over a lot of big names. I have no problem with that. But legitimate and depressingly and boringly unbeatable are 2 different things. I feel sad for Mick Foley that he spent the end of his career basically creating this backstage monster.
Let me ask you this: If you were a WWE worker right now, and you saw what has happened to those who worked HHH, would you want to work him or try and get over while avoiding him?
As for blaming things on the writing team... WHO RUNS THE DAMN WRITING TEAM????? I believe her name is Stephanie McMahon, HHH's knob slobber. There couldn't possibly be any conflict of interest there, could there? NAWWWW.
